In a letter sent to the Portuguese embassy in the UK, Trevor H. Scott, chief administrator of the International Society for the Protection of Animals, requested clarification on the situation in which they found the dogs in the custody of the Macau Canidrome. The letter referred to an article published days before in the Australian newspaper, The Mirror, about the mistreatment of animals on the racing track of the then Portuguese colony, with a headline as clear as its contents: "Cruelty kills dogs in Macau." The newspaper reported that of the 450 greyhounds imported from Australia two years earlier, 100 were sick and another 50 had been "destroyed" by the Canidrome due to excess racing and the widespread use of doping - sometimes through opium preparations used to blind the animals. According to The Mirror, cases existed where greyhounds refused to run or suffered even collapsing, before or during a race, which gave rise to several protests from a substantial number of gamblers. In the letter addressed to the Portuguese ambassador in London, Scott asked that, in case he could not deny the allegations, the diplomat should “appreciate the feelings that such reports will arouse among animal lovers both in your own country and throughout the world”, and should be “kind enough to make known the feelings of humanitarians regarding this matter in the hope that these creatures can be spared a vast amount of suffering that such a practice would inevitably entail." In mid-March, after being processed by the slow bureaucracy of (Portuguese dictator) Salazar’s regime, the letter from the head of the International Society for the Protection of Animals came to the attention of the Governor of Macau, António Lopes dos Santos, who promptly ordered an investigation into the matter. The reply, in a report signed by the delegate of the Government to the Canidrome, administrative overseer Alberto Eduardo da Silva, didn’t take more than a couple of days to arrive; and although it sought to deny the accusations made by the Australian newspaper, it did so only partially. In fact, despite claiming that the number of races per week and the distances covered in each race were lower than those of "any similar organization in Australia, England or the United States," rejecting therefore the existence of an overload of races, it didn’t fail to recognize that the number of animals was "insufficient", adding that the Canidrome spared no efforts to import more greyhounds. On the other hand, the document admitted that "some" dogs were slaughtered when they did "not meet the minimum requirements for racing greyhounds" before ensuring that this was the case in "all organizations around the world”. Elaborating on this point, the report stated: "In the special case of Macau - completely dependent on Australia for the import of Greyhounds - there is no possibility of returning the dogs that do not the import of Greyhounds - there is no possibility of returning the dogs that do not serve racing to their origins due to the enormous costs of transport to Australia." Therefore, the animals were in fact “slaughtered in the most humane way possible", according to the report. The report also recognized that dozens of greyhounds were sick but put the statistics at "only 56", roughly half the number reported by the Australian newspaper, while ensuring that the average of 15 percent of diseases could be considered "excellent compared to many other similar organizations". Finally, also in the doping chapter there was ambiguity in the conclusions. The author of the paper stated no evidence of a greyhound having a breakdown before the start of the race, or refusing to run: "It is pure fantasy by the writer!" Similarly, the alleged use of opium to reduce the dogs’ ability to see had never happened "not even as a rumor," he assured. However, the existence of cases of doping, in itself, was undeniable - and was not even news to the Governor of Macau, as is apparent from the report: "It is knowledge to you, your excellency, that, in fact, some cases of drugged dogs appeared at the beginning of the races in 1963 and 1964. Some of the suspected cases have been given over to the Judiciary Police for investigation." In a final comment, the author of the report offered a personal explanation for what could be behind publication in the Australian press of negative news for the image of dog racing in Macau: "The writer seeks to, we do not know with what intention, defame the organization. Is it because all the Australian trainers left and were replaced by English trainers?” The 1930s, Same Stigma Dog racing operated by Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd. - the same company that still operates this activity in Macau today - had in fact begun in 1963 with the support of the Australian industry sector. But even earlier greyhound races had been organized in exactly the same spot, at the edge of Ilha Verde. A Canidrome with more precarious facilities than the current one, but still with a capacity of 3000 spectators, began to be built in 1932 and was inaugurated on December 26 of that year, being described by the press at the time as "a great improvement for the city." Newspaper Voz de Macau wrote that their kennels were "the most perfect of all Greyhound Racing tracks in the East", where greyhounds were treated "with all the principles of the industry by trained and competent staff." At the suggestion of Macanese businessman Jack Maria Braga, the concession to operate the racing track was assigned to W. L. Gerrard, a merchant based in Shanghai, where greyhound racing had been introduced in 1928. But even before the Canidrome was inaugurated, the concession was acquired by trespass by a group of Macao investors led by businessman Fan Che Pang. They were, according to local media, a group with enthusiasm for the future and prosperity of Macau who had the merit of placing the then Portuguese colony "on a superior plane, at this point, over all other Portuguese colonies and cities." A single objection rose at the start of the races: the lack of hotel capacity to receive tourists attracted by the new venture, a complaint made by the Government representative himself, Pereira de Magalhães, at the opening ceremony. Hotel Riviera had a limited number of rooms and the Bela Vista had been closed a few years earlier, inoperable unless major repairs were carried; but the Government had invited companies to a public bidding, and no one joined the process. Besides, for the Portuguese press at the time Hotel Central and all other existing hospitality units were apparently "too Chinese" to receive tourists interested in greyhound racing. But very soon the lack of rooms was no longer among the main concerns of the club that ran the races. Just over a month after the opening of the Canidrome, the newspaper Echo Macaense denounced irregularities in races’ results, which lead to the mass resignation of the Commissioners responsible for the sports management of the project. Regarding the treatment of the greyhounds, the newspaper issued an elucidating comment: "In this framework where the heat is intense and exhausting, we consider it violent to simply think in the interest of the company, agreeing to make greyhounds run three nights in a row, and it is absolutely reprehensible that in one night they run two races with the same dogs, as happened last week, in which it repeated the race that was cancelled without reason, because the money bets had already been returned. If there was in this Colony a society for the protection of animals! ...” Canidrome quoted in HK report on organized crime Persistent poor organization of races, financial results far below expectations, a typhoon with particularly devastating effects and the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War eventually led to the closure of Canidrome in 1938, after a meager six years of operation. When the track was reopened more than 20 years later, on September 28, 1963, the highest-ranking public official present at the ceremony also offered in his speech some criticism directed to the new concessionaire. This time, the Government representative, Lieutenant Colonel Mota Cerveira, regretted that the program was written only in English and Chinese, as were most of the signs around the premises. "Little appears visible in Portuguese, with the exception of the ‘Exit’ sign, in large letters”, complained the representative of Governor Lopes dos Santos, absent in Portugal. However, such concerns would again prove negligible compared to the problems that would follow. After accusations of abuse and drug use released by The Mirror, the Macau government invited the president of Greyhounds Breeders, Owners & Trainers Association of New South Wales, Norm Smith, to visit the territory to help the company concessionaire Canidrome improve the operation. Two years earlier, the same association leader had brought from Australia to Macau 600 greyhounds, dog food, an electric betting totalizer and other equipment, worth some 135,000 pounds sterling. At the end of his visit, Norm Smith only had words of praise 135,000 pounds sterling. At the end of his visit, Norm Smith only had words of praise for the activity of the Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co., saying he was amazed at the progress achieved.

Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.
